RSCM Music Sunday 2012

In St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, Glasgow on Sunday 24th June 2012 members of RSCM Scottish Voices will be joining with other choirs including the Cathedral Choir itself to celebrate RSCM Music Sunday in a repeat of the glorious Choral Evensong of last year's event, complete with orchestral arrangements of classic cathedral repertoire!

The service will take place at 6.30pm, and the music will include:

I was glad (Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry)

Responses: Bernard Rose

The Lord is my shepherd (Howard Goodall)

The splendour of the House of God (John Bell)

Magnificat & Nunc Dimittis in A (Sir Charles Villiers Stanford)

Greater love hath no man (Sir John Ireland)

All people that on earth do dwell (Ralph Vaughan Williams)

The following is taken from the RSCM Website:What is Music Sunday?
RSCM Music Sunday is a celebration of the music and musicianship that are a vital and beloved part of church life. Music Sunday is a salute in words and music to the
creativity, discipline, effort, and dedication of thousands upon
thousands of people – young and old, professional and amateur, singer
and instrumentalist, administrator and practitioner – most of them
working without expectation of recognition but who nonetheless deserve
our awareness and our thanks. Music Sunday can be the occasion when you award RSCM
medals, admit choristers into your choir, recognise a change in the
status of choristers or greet a new organist or music director.

What is The 50:50 Campaign?
Music Sunday events raise funds for choirs, music libraries, or
whatever the financial need may be; the RSCM will use its half of the
proceeds to support its work of training and supporting church musicians
everywhere. While the amount raised locally may be modest, the events
themselves raise awareness of the key role of music in worship. The
£100,000 that the RSCM could raise in new funds will be transformative
for church music and musicians.

RSCM Scottish Voices

Since 2009 RSCM Scottish Voices has been a self-financing adult choir that aims to draw together some of the most accomplished and experienced church musicians in Scotland to sing services six times a year in a variety of abbeys, cathedrals and prominent churches around the country, in addition to taking part in a very sociable annual summer residential rehearsal weekend.

Joining the choir

We occasionally have vacancies for singers, so if you are aged 18 or over, are resident in Scotland, have experience in church choral singing, and would like to be considered for an audition or would just like more information, please contact administrator@rscmscottishvoices.org.uk for an application form, stating your voice part and giving a little detail of your choral experience.

Subscriptions

The Annual Subscription for RSCM Scottish Voices is £40 per year, plus a £10 fee payable on the day at each event. There may be some limited scope for subsidising those in full time education who could not otherwise afford to join - please contact the administrator for further details. The cost of the residential rehearsal weekend depends on the venue.
